The daughter of stricken Formula One legend Michael Schumacher has been following in her father's footsteps by blowing away the competition - but the 17-year-old is more into horses than horsepower.

While the seven-time world champion continues his recovery from a serious head injury sustained in a skiing accident in December 2013, his wife Corinna and daughter Gina were pictured putting on a brave face at a horse show in Switzerland.

Gina was victorious at the FEI European Reining Championships for Juniors and Young Riders 2015 contest, held at the CS Ranch owned by Corinna, which attracted 46 riders from nine countries.

The sale of the retreat, in Trysil, north of Oslo, comes after it emerged last year that his family was planning to build a £10million 'hospital' room for the star at their home in Switzerland.

The Schumachers appeared at the horse show on the same weekend as the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. In a rain-hit race it was world champion Lewis Hamilton who took the chequered flag ahead of Mercedes teammate and title rival Nico Rosberg.
